Homework

1. Literacy Map:

No Literacy Map homework over the weekend.  Homework books will be kept at school for marking and returned on Monday. 

2. Reading

Read for 20 minutes everyday.  This may be a library book, home reading book, or a book online.  It is beneficial to have your child read their book both silently to themselves as well as out loud.  Ask your child to retell what they have read.

3.Tell and Show:

We will be doing letter S for Tell and Show next week. Please continue to have your child draw and write independently.  We are amazed at the writing and drawing that students have been doing.  Way to go!  Make sure to colour your presentation as well!

4. We are starting our Building unit in the next couple of weeks.  We are asking families to send in building materials from home. Popsicle sticks, tooth-picks, card-board (in manageable pieces) tin, toilet-paper rolls, paper-towel rolls, egg-cartons, string…. we will be doing lots of exploring with these items!  Send them in.
